    Pretty Decent Racer for the GBC
    This game for the gameboy color only apparently is a pretty good racing game overall. I think though that it suffers from many of the problems that some of the other Episode I games suffer from in that it feels like it could have been better. The graphics during the opening and while viewing the ships and planets are pretty good, but I feel like the graphics within the game itself could have been better. However that being said this game is still a lot of fun, and the rumble pack does add some nice features at times. The learning curve seems to be pretty gradual, I got through the first couple of wins pretty quickly but then it started to take me about 10 races on average to win a new race. If you want to beat all the races on all the planets it could take some serious playing time. Overall though this makes a great game if you are trying to beat records or if you just want something to do real quick while your waiting. One small note unlike many of the GameBoy games that I play a lot I find this one hard to play while moving/walking and thus its not a good game if you use your gameboy while working out like I do.

    The Best
    The best Gameboy game that I have ever played is Star Wars Episode I Racer. It is extremely addictive, and quite fun. The little rumble pack included is quite cool. This game takes a while to beat, and it is entertaining to beat Sebulba at the end. The variety of its graphics make this game worth its price.

    Awesome GameBoy Game!
    This is the best Game Boy Color game I have ever played in my life! The graphics are excellent, considering the graphical limits placed on the system. The sound is awesome, and I like the rumble pack that is included with the game. It has a great replay value, and the game play never really gets boring. The only thing I had trouble with was the tight turns, but even here it wasn't really a problem. Anyone who is a Star Wars fan, looking for a good GBC game, or buying for little kids should buy this game!

    Wow! These opinions are amazing about the game!
    I wouldn't dare insult people's opinions, but this game is my least favorite of the Super Star Wars Trilogy! Go and rent it at a store to see if you agree with me or not because this is the kind of game I think you need to know about in advance! Like all the Super Star Wars, it is hard to beat but is boring to me! I feel it in the force, it is not a good game! I love the classics, but they made it almost impossible to beat, even for a Brave, like me! ...

    If you are a fan of Star Wars, this game is worth playing...
    If you are looking for an entertaining and challenging game, try playing Super Empire Strikes Back. If you're not a fan of Star Wars, you should pass on this game. The game has a lot of levels, and there are passwords for each level so that you don't have to start at the beginning every time. The hard part is getting past the levels. This game is a lot more challenging than Super Star Wars. If you don't have a game genie, I would recommend buying one for this game. The game is frustrating because it's almost impossible to pass a level without dying. Except for that, the game is pretty entertaining. You can get the passwords for each level by going to ... . There are other sites where you can get the passwords too.
    So if you haven't played any of the Super Star Wars games, try playing this one after you've played Super Star Wars first. Super Star Wars is less challenging and you won't get as frustrated with it.

    Fun but long
    I first got this game about six or seven years ago when Super Nintendo was still "acceptbale" gaming. The main thing I remember about this game is that it was quite fun. I almost gave up on it however, when the ice levels at the beginning stretched on for so long. It didn't last that long in the movie. Anyways, The game is long and diverse. The different characters and different levels of blasters is interesting. Although the ship levels are meant as a diversion from the side scrolling, they are not as fun as the regular levels. The bosses are quite easy, but thats just in compliance with the overall trend of Super Nintendo games in which the levels are harder than the bosses they contain. Luke's force powers are an interestign idea, although most of them are completely worthless. The game gets a bit tedious in the middle, but picks up nicely towards the end. Good game throughout.


    Star Wars Racer Revenge: Racer II
    Made by Lucasarts Entertainment
    Age Group: 6 years and up
      Amazon base price: $10.90

      Originally released for the Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo 64, Star Wars: Episode I, Racer was a decent title with its share of flaws--most notably its control and graphics. The game's PlayStation2 sequel, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, addresses many of the original's shortcomings and is a vastly superior product. Rainbow Studios--known for its strong racers such as ATV Offroad Fury and Motocross Madness--developed this game, unlike the original. The developer's prowess at creating racing games is evident, as this title features much better controls and more compelling races. Furthermore, it receives a nice graphics upgrade that showcases the capabilities of the PS2. This game is superior in every respect to its predecessor.

      Game modes include practice, single play, tournament, time trials, and versus. Tournament mode is the bulk of the game. Players can beat it in fewer than three hours and it isn't particularly difficult. Replay value is added by requiring you to beat the tournament mode several times so you can unlock all the game's secrets. Oddly enough, the game's sound--usually LucasArts's forte--is hampered by an unusual effect: at times you'll hear the full Star Wars treatment, as John Williams's score and cool sound effects totally capture the feel of the movies, but other times you'll hear only the sound of your engine. The environmental audio is an interesting choice that wasn't executed very well. Audio and brevity issues aside, this game is one of the strongest Star Wars titles released for a console. --Raymond M. Padilla

      Pros:

      • Much better gameplay than the original
      • Excellent graphics
      • Tight controls
      Cons:
      • Extremely short
      • Not very challenging
      • Music fade-ins and -outs are weird

      Great fun, but a little easy
      This is a great game, no arguements. The sound effects, graphics, AI, and gameplay are some of the best I've seen in a racing game. And I've played a lot of racing games. The only reason I gave this game only 4 stars is it's a little too easy, and because of that, short. I'm maybe 2 hours into it, and I only have 3 more races to beat to win the tournament. I've only had to rerace a track 2 or 3 times. If I'm behind, all I have to do is use the boost and slam a few opponents into a wall. But this is still a great game, and it was worth the 20 bucks. If you don't feel like unlocking all the other racers for multiplayer(which is this game's only replay value), you might just want to rent it.

      Overall, if you want the thrill of being in a real podrace, this is for you. (By the way, don't use Anakin Skywalker, because for some reason, Lucasarts decided to make his podracer the worst).

      Fun racing game
      First off, I love racing games. They are fun, you need to think quickly at times, you can play with more than one player (usually), and those "winner by a nose" finishes make it all worth it.

      I get this all from this game. I've really enjoyed playing this game and building up my character while trying to unlock other characters to play with. Each course is imaginative and has its own sets of challenges.

      My only problem is that it can get easy really quickly. I wish there were a way to download courses off the Internet or an ability to create your own.

      But in the end, if you like racing games I would highly recommend this one!!

      Racer Revenge Rules!
      Star Wars Racer Revenge is a fabulous racing game. You can play it over and over because there are so many characters. Trying to unlock the secret characters makes it even more fun. And when you unlock them, they come with their atributes all pumped up, so you can win every race. You can play any of the levels co-op. That's always fun when you are blowing up your brother's racer. Blowing up other racers. That's a great part of the game. Crashing into people and making their pods explode is even more cool because you get paid for it! The graphics and details are incredible. Racer Revenge is a great game! Definitely worth the money.

        They get points for not messing it up
        This is a really nice toy. Very detailed, very nice quality, although it screams "we made the Darth Vader TIE instead of the normal TIE like everyone wants because the wings make it easier to stock in Wal-Mart". As noted elsewhere, they FAIL to give you the figure for the ship. Pffffth!

        No reviews found for this product.
        not as good as the first time
        this toys is a reproduction of Darth Vader's battle dammaged tie fighter from the death star playset in action fleet from a few years ago. However, all the action fleet repro's don't come with the 1-inch poseable figures they originally came with, which is a let-down, but the vehicles are still cool.

        No reviews found for this product.
        Why oh why apply damage and so much burnt marks?
        I must say these action fleet toys are of exceptional quality. The sculpt is good, the paint job is as good. However I think they should've omitted the damaged look on this particular toy (TIE prototype). I understand they wanted to give it the "used" look but I think they overdone it on the TIE and M.Falcon. It didn't need so many black spots especially the Falcon, man it looked like it went thru the sun. The only action fleet toy that came out perfect was their X-Wing.


        Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles
        Made by Lucasarts Entertainment
        Age Group: 12 years and up
          Amazon base price: $19.90
          List price: $39.99 (that's 50% off!)

          The battle that pits the noble Jedi Knights against the nasty Trade Federation continues in Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles in its triumphant form on the Dreamcast. For fans of very basic arcade beat-'em-ups, this is quite possibly the most improved translation of a bad PlayStation game ever made for the Dreamcast. Saber-swinging action on a console never has looked better.

          Yes, the game has bright and shiny graphics that take advantage of the Dreamcast's extra processing muscle. The music and sound effects also are excellent, and probably are the elements that capture the atmosphere of the films most effectively. But the game relies heavily on the basic walk-from-left-to-right-and-chop-up-the-baddies formula. Jedi Power Battles really hasn't moved this style of gameplay forward from the now-ancient Double Dragon and Final Fight games of yore.

          Fortunately, LucasArts made quite a few wise tweaks for this new version. In addition to the original playable characters (Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and Mace Windu), the Dreamcast version adds the speedy Ki-Adi-Mundi. In addition to distinctive speed, strength, and personal style of saber attack, each character has special Force powers that get stronger as the game progresses. Of course, using your lightsaber like a Louisville Slugger to hit laser blasts into line drives is the coolest Jedi trick in the game.

          The Dreamcast version runs very quickly and smoothly (supposedly at 60 frames per second), no matter how much action is taking place on the screen. New to this version are training levels for up-and-coming Jedis and a cool mano a mano fighting mode (think Street Fighter with lightsabers) that's good for a few laughs.

          Without the Star Wars name, this game could've been considered rather ordinary. But Jedi Power Battles delivers the fun for all who ever wanted a chance to go toe-to-toe with Darth Maul and all of his friends from the Dark Side. Neither original nor deep in gameplay, Jedi Power Battles does show that the Force is still strong in the Dreamcast. --Mark Brooks

          Pros:

          • Very good graphics, music, and sound
          • Nice extras like hidden characters, training mode, and one-on-one fight mode add to its value
          Cons:
          • It's basically yet another mindless beat-'em-up with lots of jumping
          • Could've been a bit longer

          A dazzling experience on the Dreamcast
          When I bought this game I already owned the playstation version and believed that this would be a terrible port much like Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation onto the Dreamcast. I was wonderfully surprised when I played this game finally, it was great. The graphics are surprisingly good, better even than some of today's releases on "superior" systems. The game controls well, the sound is well. . . its John Williams, and the replay value is seemingly endless. I have been truly won over to this game after initially being skeptical. One of the best aspects of the game is the two player mode(a seemingly lost art in the video game world). Here you can join forces with a friend or you can wield your lightsaber against one another. This game also serves as a great solution for the lightsaberless ps2 owners since one can now purchase a Dreamcast and this game for around $$$$, that's right the price of a brand new Playstation 2 game. This game is a must for any lover of Star Wars or anyone just looking for a fun 1-2 player action game.

          Mmmm Platformy goodness from LucasArts
          So often the videogames made from wonderful films or tv shows just don't get much right at all, gameplay, atmosphere etc. However when said film is Star Wars and the franchise is handled with respect a game like this can be achieved. The dreamcast version of this platform adventure game simply shines. The seven training missions are fun and they get you ready for the main event. You control one of five Jedi (more unlockable including the master of menace Darth Maul) through 10 levels of droid bashing, laser deflecting, and general Jedi mayhem. There is a versus mode in the DC version that allows players to use JPB as a fighter also, or you can take the main adventure with two Jedi side by side. The game really feels like a classic old platform game on steroids which is part of its appeal. Once you see the glowing graphics and hear the swing of your light saber you will not be able to resist the power of the force.

          Without a Shadow of a doubt...The People's Choice
          Jedi Power Battles had me foaming at the mouth when I learned that there would FINALLY be a SW platform game released. I have to say this game lived up to all of my lofty expectations, yeah the gameplay isn't the greatest, but the graphics, sound, and character selection more than compensate. All Star Wars fans need to own this game, it's really addicting. You can do some really sweet combos as you gain points and get to higher stages in the game. The coolest part is how you can deflect laser gun shots back at your enemies. All in all, definitely worth the money.

            Disappointed by a poor effort
            I bought X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter hoping it would be like the beloved original X-Wing, with better graphics and more ships. Sadly, the game looked awful, with shifting texture maps on the large ships, presented in a maximum 640x480 resolution. The graphics improved with Balance of Power, but the dim starlight made the battle scenes less than impressive. For a game based on visually stunning movie masterpieces, it was annoying to maneuver around the pitch black underbelly of a star destroyer with no lights on the hull. The huge, never-seen-in-the-movies gun turrets on the star destroyers looked incredibly lame as well.

            Even though the sound effects were turned up to maximum volume in the Configuration screen, I still had to turn up my computer's volume ALL the way to hear them. Adjusting the John Williams background music had no effect on its volume, so I had to turn it off. There was no training exercise information on how to handle missiles locked on to the player's ship, which was quite an oversight for a supposedly "fun" product.

            A good multiplayer game- NOT single player
            This game seems to have been made to address the lack of multiplay in either X-Wing or TIE Fighter. It does a good job of that, and many would argue a too good job. Unless you're an incredibly good pilot, you won't be able to do all the missions solo without turning down the difficulty. No matter which side you choose, the other side will probably win if you're alone. The same goes for the Balance of Power add-on, which contains some very difficult and boring objectives (would you like to identify 50 freighters for us?).

            Aside from new texturing, the models are similar to the ones in TIE Fighter. In fact, you will be unpleasantly surprised to see that there are fewer types of ships and stations than in the earlier game. Until you get Balance of Power, the only heavy Rebel fighter is the Y-Wing. This bodes ill for any Rebel fans that want to play missions in which a target must be disabled. I also can't help but notice that the Imperials have the superior TIE Advanced and Assault Gunboat, which seems a bit unbalancing for multiplay purposes.

            If you like playing with friends, then you can play this and the expansion cooperatively. That can be a good deal of fun, provided you have a fast and stable connection. If you're looking for a cool story like the ones in X-Wing or TIE Fighter, go get Alliance instead. It's much better for the single play aspect that the older games were so strong in.

            Oldy but goody
            While this is an old game, it is one of the best Star Wars games that I have played. You can fly for either the rebel aliance or the Empire in a variety of craft.

            This is one of the better Star Wars games I have played becuase of it's replay value, you can either play online or work for higher medals and rank on your missions. A great game for any Star Wars fan.


            Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
            Made by LucasArts Entertainment
            Age Group: 5 years and up
              Amazon base price: $19.99
              Let's just for a second forget that Star Wars: Episode I, Racer has anything at all to do with the film on which it's based. Would it still have any appeal if you take away the movie license? The answer, almost surprisingly, is yes. This sci-fi arcade racing game is packed with high-speed thrills and a unique style of track-circling action that should get any racing fan's adrenaline pumping.

              The game is based on the pod-racing scene from Episode I, which was arguably the best and most exciting segment of the film. Players enter a series of pod races as either Anakin Skywalker or one of his 20 different alien rivals--including Sebulba, once you get far enough into the game to unlock this bonus character. Races are linked in four different circuits, each more difficult than the last. The highest circuit, in fact, can be extremely tough.

              Each race is a white-knuckled ride on the wild side, as the game does an excellent job of conveying a feeling of ferocious speed. It helps that Racer utilizes spectacular 3-D graphics to depict the racetracks and their alien surroundings. But racers can't waste time admiring the scenery: tracks are not always well marked, and it's all too easy to get lost and fly off the track.

              As with most Star Wars games, the sound effects and music in Racer are top-notch. True, Anakin's cutesy voice can be annoying at times, but the other racers sound great when they complain as you pass them on the track. Watto the shopkeeper, the floating alien guy who sells new parts and upgrades for your pod, is a great character who chatters away humorously as you shop his store.

              Overall, Racer is a game that can easily stand on its own merits rather than ride the coattails of Star Wars: Episode I. Intense speed, unique racing action, and excellent 3-D graphics make this one a sure-fire winner. --Michael E. Ryan

              Pros:

              • Unique, high-speed racing action
              • Excellent graphics
              • Pod upgrades
              • Great sound effects and music
              Cons:
              • Becomes extremely difficult at the highest levels
              • Tracks can be confusing at times
              • The voice of Jake Lloyd (Anakin Skywalker)

              Fun for all!
              I recently bought this game and I can say I wasn't dissapointed. This game is based on the Pod Racing Sequence in The Phantom Menace (I would go further, but I know you already saw it, you did didn't you?). Most anyone who saw it probably thought "It probably took them a long time to do those computer animations" and then as an afterthought "Wouldn't it be fun if I did that?". Well guess what, through the marvels of today's 3D computer technology you can, and it's fun!

              The graphics are great, I set all the settings on high in the options and I have to say I am impressed, from the little stream coming from the back of the pod to the transparencys to the cool other stuff... mmmm...

              Also, the track design is great, while it can be confusing at times (several routes), there is a great amount of replay value in just one track. From trying to find a shorter way to get from point C to point D and so on.

              I strongly reccomend this game for anyone, especially Star Wars Fanatics and Fantasy Racing Fans

              Commuting is never like this!!!!
              This game is so much fun...I commute 60 miles a day. I bought the game for my "man". As a 53 year old woman, it never occurred to me that it would be a thrill for me to play. My son was amazed that I even thought of buying this game. Of course, it wasn't for me. Now, my "man" and I are having a really good time exchanging racing experiences. During my commute to work, I encounter situations similar to these races- insults from other drivers, overheating engines, unexpected obstacles in the road (box springs, boulders, bicycles, over-turned vehicles). It is so much fun to put the pedal to the metal and not worry about crashing and dying, as you have to do in the real world of commuting to work. This game is easy to start, fun on even the lowest levels (my level, a slow amateur), and has lots of opportunities to go faster, smarter and on all sorts of tracks. Fun for all in the family, ladies included. My only problem is that I am driving my truck like a podracer.......

              Ready for More and about time for Mac
              Somebody made a mistake at Lucas Arts and released a fun arcade action game for the Mac. This is an addictive speed demon-type first person that requires adaptive dexterity and clever intuition. In a perfect world there would be an expansion set with more tracks and a build your own track editor.

                Very Nice.
                This 12" Amidala is the first Star Wars figure I have chosen to purchase. I am not very fond of the Star Wars films, though I do quite enjoy Attack of the Clones, so this figure seemed to be a logical choice.
                Upon receiving the figure, I have to say that I am not disappointed in the least. Hasbro did an excellent job at capturing the look of the lovely Senator Amidala. While it might not have the same lifelike quality as, let's say the Lord of the Rings Barbie set, or some of the older Playmates Star Trek 12" figures, it is still a very nice likeness.
                Additionally, her outfit is, as far as I can tell, very accurate to the film.
                If you are a Star Wars fan, I don't doubt that you will love this figure. If you are more of a casual viewer such as myself, I think you will probably enjoy it as well.

                No reviews found for this product.
                Good for any Padme fan
                I just bought this and I'm unsure of whether or not I will open the box. It is really nice but the head is proportionally too large for the rest of her body. Otherwise it is a really fun piece for any Star Wars fan.

                No reviews found for this product.
                Padme Amidala more or less
                I got this great figure but I will not take it out of the box.
                For a 12" Kenner female figure she looks great. My only real complaints are two:
                I do not like the oversized plastic tubing wrap that ties her real hair behind her head-a ribbon would have been better even though the tubing is off the movie.
                I do not like the way the head sits on top of the neck (this looks more like a stub!) A realistic type neck would be definitely better.
                But I do like:
                the real hair
                her face
                the articulation though only 6 points of articulation
                the overall proportion of the figure
                the 2 weapons!

                I recommend that if you want to play with a Padme figure get one of the smaller figures! Keep your larger figures in the display box for a nicer presentation. You will need a doll display stand if you do take her out for display.
                This figure is best for ages about 9 to adult.

                It's A Good Game,But It Could Have Been Better
                Okay,Star Wars Rebel Assault 2 is a really good game,but if LucasArts and Factor 5 spent more time on it,I would've given it five stars.

                You play the role of Rookie 1,and you're sent to inspect the Dreighton Triangle,because many ships have dissapeared there.But then a swarm of Tie Fighters come in and shoot you down.

                You land on a planet,then you look for a YT-1300 Transport,while blasting StormTroopers all around(there are ground combat missions,too).
                Then later in the game,you're sent to capture one of the Empire's Phantom Fighters.And guess what?There's even a first person shooter level too!
                This isn't a game for younger kids,because it can get incredibly hard on different levels.

                Pros:
                Good graphics,on ground combat missions and various levels.

                Plenty of action.

                Three dificulty levels(easy,medium,and hard).

                Ground Combat Missions!

                Cons:
                The game doesn't support the analog stick controllers.

                Awful graphics on most of the levels.

                You can't truely control the ships.They mostly control themselves while you blast the heck out of everything.

                Having two disks is inconveinient.You have to put disk one in your PlayStation for the game to start,then put disk two in to acsess the later levels,if you've goten to them.

                Sometimes controling where the crosshairs go is hard using the little arrow buttons.
                There need to be more ground combat missions(come on,there's only three of them!)!

                Overall,this is a good game,but it could have been WAY better.

                Great for people that find modern games too hard
                I don't know about the rest of you, but today's games are generally WAY to hard for me to get through even the first couple of levels. I found this to be just right for me. It has breathtaking graphics and a quick pace, yet is intrinsically easy to figure out what you're supposed to do. This game has been around for the PSX since the early days and seems to be better than most of the Star Wars games that have come out since.

                Rebel Assault II
                This is one of the best games I've ever played! Its graphics are realistic and dynamic!! You can't stop playing once you start-you'll be hooked!

                  If the film itself and the character Jar Jar Binks didn't scare you away from the Star Wars universe, this game (along with a few others based on the film) just might.

                  The story of Star Wars: Episode 1, Obi-Wan's Adventures follows the adventures of a young Obi-Wan from the beginning of Star Wars: Episode I, The Phantom Menace to Obi's encounter with Darth Maul. He travels on a ship to Naboo, then Coruscant, then to Queen Amidala's palace, and then faces the sinister Sith warrior himself.

                  In this game you even have the choice of using two high-profile pieces of Star Wars weaponry: the lightsaber and the blaster. You also have the telekinetic power better known as the Force. Using the lightsaber, Obi-Wan can deflect laser blasts back at enemies; using the Force, he can move boxes and rocks; and using his blaster, he can inflict serious damage on any enemies he faces.

                  The action in this game is very straightforward. You advance through levels by defeating enemies, flipping some switches, and heading to the next level. On numerous occasions you will be forced to jump over electrical fields, make your way past poisonous gas bursts, and use the Force to fill chasms with boulders. Most of the time, though, this game is just a hack-and-slash adventure.

                  If you do feel the need to do some exploration, you may find a power-up or two, but the levels in this game are so easy that you often won't need them. More likely, you will be able to get through most levels in one try, and you'll find that the levels get progressively easier as the game wears on.

                  The graphics in this game should have been better scaled, and the characters should have been larger. Obi-Wan's Adventures tries to fill the small Game Boy screen with too much of the surrounding environment, hence the characters, around whom the action revolves, are too small. Larger sprites would have improved the game and made it a lot easier on the eyes. --Todd Mowatt

                  Pros:

                  • Star Wars buffs will enjoy having a little bit of portable Force
                  Cons:
                  • Slow, unchallenging gameplay
                  • Graphics aren't on par with other Game Boy Color adventures

                  Obi Wan In th palm of you hand
                  It's a great game actually if you donot mind the isometric view and the small Obi-Wan. The game has good gameplay and nicely balances between the gameplay elements. The ability to use the force is great as you can move things and push back the droids. Other weapons inlcude a blaster and the jedi essential-the light sabre. Though the force and the blaster is great, they are limited in points so most of the times you will be using the light sabre and it's pretty cool to be able to deflect back the laser beams. It would have been cool if you could use other force powers like ability to jump higher for example. The enemies are all droids and this tends to create a feeling of been there done that kind of thing. Only the diverse scenes and the backgrounds make up for that to some extent. Gameplay hours is sjort as the game is quite easy to get used to and most will be able to finish it in under 4 hours. If you would like a portable force, or if you a star wars fan thenthis game will be great to add to your collection. If you are a new gamer this game shouldn't be much of a challenge to you. I recommend you buy it...
